Just wondering if your using the bundled "music" app or a third party? I usually connect via Bluetooth but just out of interest I connected my speaker via the 3.5mm jack and played Amazon Music today for 6 hours without issue. *EDIT* forgot to also ask, did your phone update OTA or did you sideload it via companion? Also are you using a standard 3.5mm headphone jack or a USB-C one?

Hi, Not sure if it's an android pie issue, mines been working fine, but I did have a similar issue a while back with a pair of faulty headphones, the jack plug end for them was slightly damaged and loose, so whenever the jack was moved in a particular way it stopped playback, when I pressed play again it was playing out of the device instead. The way the headphone jack works is there is a small link in the bottom of the headphone socket, headphones or whatever when inserted break this link so then the phone knows something has been plugged in, this in turn disables the loudspeaker on the phone and only sends the sound to the headphone socket. When the socket link inside reconnects to itself, the phone knows the headphones have been unplugged, and stops playback incase you accidentally unplugged the headphones (a feature built into Android for years now, not everyone likes five finger death punch) I'd suggest trying another pair of headphones as you may have just been unlucky that the headphones have died at the same (I'd check the headphone jack looks straight and the tip isn't loose, failing all that, check there's no fluff in the bottom of headphone jack that may be keeping it held up ever so slightly

So last night my Xz Premium updated to 9.0, aside from the lack of gestures (the main feature of Pie) but my OCD is having issues even opening my device home screen. Just look at the alignment of the home button, it's off to the right ever so slightly, I mean once you see it you won't be able to unsee it, how hard can it be to align it to center, I turned on me apps icon and it makes it even more obvious! Is this the same on your phones also? Granted in the grand scheme of things it's not important, but surely it's someone's job to ensure the release is aesthetically correct

Back again! So this morning I downloaded and installed .179 and as soon as I rebooted my phone the 00:59 notification came back with vengance. Prior to this I had been at least a month without seeing it. Definitely sending yet another support email complaint

....... Thinking on about this. The only thing I changed yesterday was from my default 06:00 and 06:03 alarms to a 07:00 and 07:03 both on a 10 minute snooze with a 5 minute auto silent timer. Unsure if the time of alarm makes a difference or if it's something to do with the auto silent timer as tbh I think I may have ignored one of the alarms this morning.

OK, I see @Jamie1981uk said the update did nothing on their device yet today my issue has now disappeared! I've tried to simulate the same issue several other times this morning and each time the notification clears off correctly?? I'm not counting my chickens yet, but hopefully this has resolved it! Device: XZ Premium Update:47.1.A.12.145

Following my regular contact with Sony support on this issue, has now transformed into completely ignoring me and everyone else on this issue. So coupled with their lackluster support that has so far provided no resolution, I have now resorted to an analog solution in a digital age. For the whopping sum of £2.99, I resolved this issue with an alarm clock from Amazon, this then allows me to render a function on my state of the art, flagship £650 mobile device as obsolete. But still to date, Sony are yet to provide a fix or even comment on this thread to even state their intentions. Well played again Sony.

New issue today.... Since the new updates, I'm now experiencing constant Bluetooth issues, either showing notifications that Bluetooth wants to connect to a device (when Bluetooth is off) or it refuses to pair to any new devices stating the code is incorrect, I have tried this with multiple devices and all fail. Furthermore if a Bluetooth device is already registered in the mobile phone, there is no issue, it will connect, however if I remove that device from the remembered list, it refuses to connect to it again. Regardless of device it constantly states the incorrect pass key has been entered. Just tried the same Bluetooth devices on my older Z2 and all work first time, no issues with pass keys. I wish Sony would tell us what is going on! Please Sony, roll back the update to the one from before Christmas!!

So the following is advice from Sony, I am just trialing it at the moment so I will update tomorrow. Hi Andrew! I kindly ask you to also forward the clock app version from settings > apps & notifications > app info > Clock > Version. Apart from that, please do the following and try again. To turn off the Android System notification 1. Find and tap Settings > App & notifications > App info. 2. Tap the menu button (three vertical dots), then select Show system. 3. Find and tap Android System. 4. Tap App notifications, then find Apps running in background. 5. Drag the slider to turn this function off. We will be waiting for your reply Regards, Gabriel

Update After reading the forum I set two alarms and sure enough the issue came back. Restart the phone and it goes away Also noticed the location issue like others but have a new one to add. Bluetooth notification, whenever I am near to my smart watch the phone will ask if I want to connect, however if I turn the Bluetooth off on the phone or walk miles away, the phone still claims the smart watch wants to connect every 30 seconds or so Tried this on other bluetooth devices and irregardless if the devices get turned off after the original phone notification, the phone still claims to see them and the pop-ups continue. All with the phones Bluetooth setting turned off!! @SONY What is going on?? XZ Premium G8141 Android 8.0.0 47.1.A.12.75 K 4.4.78-perf+ Wed Jan 24 14:00:09 2018
